Do we know yet??

We had an ultrasound at about 13 1/2 weeks and they said it was a "very happy" boy. We should have a more definate idea after week 20, though.

What's the old wives tale you're talking about? I've been told that I'm "carrying low" which is supposed to indicate a boy.

In about another 6 weeks, we will have the ultrasound that we can (hopefully!) find out on. Our son insists that it's a girl, but I really don't have a "feeling" either way.

I am interested in the wives tale too. At our 10 week ultrasound, the heartbeat was like 178 - but at our visit this week it was a steady 150. I think that was just a difference between being very "busy" one day, and resting another.

Gristastic, ha! A very happy boy. Our son had an erection, so there was no doubt, but that was at 24 weeks.

LOL! I hope then at 20 weeks you still have a very happy boy!
I was talking about the heartbeat tale.. 140 and under is supposed to indicate a boy and higer means a girl. It was pretty accurate with my 2. Gav's was usually around 135 and Ella was around 160 most of the time. Of course, I was MUCH younger when I was pregnant with Gavin and quite a bit more active with Ella.. and I am even more active now.

I was expecting to be much more anxious about finding out the sex, but I am really enjoying this pregnancy and it seems like time is just flying!

Both my girls had steady 140 heart rates.

As for us, I am not having an ultrasound for another 3 weeks or so. I was at the doc a couple of days ago and I was measuring really big (even for me and I usually measure big-but this was like 6 weeks big) and he listened to see if there were two heartbeats and thought he actually heard two different heart rates I still didn't want an early U/S so we are all chewing our fingers now...

oh my! Best of luck!!!!!

We had our ultrasound on Tuesday and we are having a very stubborn little girl Oh and for the wives tale.. our last ultrasound she had a heartbeat of 140 :LOL But the ultrasound place we went too guarantees they are right about the sex or they will refund what you triple what you paid... they've never been wrong in 13 years supposedly so we feel confident she really has no penis

We're gong to have another surprise. Every time I feel a new sensation, different from my first pregnancy, I think, "Oh! It must be a boy!" and every time I feel something familiar I think, "Oh, it is definitely a girl!" But we loved the whole long anticipation and the amazing moment of finding out at the birth. I am curious, but we're planning to hold out till the end.

I had one friend who saw the umbilical cord at birth, mistook it for a penis, called all her friends and relatives and told them it was a boy, and his name, etc...only to realize hours later at the first diaper change that it was a girl after all!!! :LOL

That is just tooo funny! Although, I am sure it didn't seem that way at the time

Congats!!! Good to know about the heartbeats... I can still hold out hope for a boy!

We are going to try to find out at the ultrasound I'll have in August.

Our ultrasound is next Tuesday -- I'll be 18 1/2 weeks...I can't wait!! I'm feeling same as last time in that if I had to choose I would choose boy (but girl next, please :LOL), and I kinda think it is a boy. No real reason -- I just think it is.

What I'm not looking forward to is the sense of loss. If I find out we're having a boy, all my dreams for a sweet little girl are gone for now. And if it's a girl, my ds will never have a brother close in age like I kinda want...almost like you're losing a child, kwim?

I don't think I'm disappointed enough to wish for twins, though (although it would be really neat!!). Lots of work, though. Good luck with that cosmos!!

i'm surprised, but also kind of suspected it. although my dreams have all been girl, when i'm awake i always catch myself thinking boy.
